Abe: Four in Hand (Ties of Steel, #1)
Released: December 16, 2014
goodreads youtube  

Twenty-six-year-old Abraham O’Donnell is the CFO of Steel Inc. After working tirelessly for over a year, he takes a week off to enjoy the sand, surf, and bikini-clad women of Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. 
After all, he's earned it.  

When a brief interlude with a flight attendant in her hotel room goes awry, Abe heads to a rental home with a private beach. While floating naked in the pool, he learns a guest house on the property is also occupied. So much for rest and relaxation. Ever the gentleman, Abe tries to make the most of his misfortune, and offers to make the beauties staying on the property some dinner. 

 It's senior year and Nikolette (Nikki) Bassett is a few days late for her last college Spring Break with her four best girlfriends. When she arrives, all these ladies can talk about is the guy next door. And once Nikki gets a look at him, she knows what they mean. Fresh from an afternoon of surfing, Nikki can hardly believe her eyes when Abe approaches. The sexual tension and banter between the two of them leads to steamy hot sex on the Atlantic shore. It's only a Spring Break fling, and both Abe and Nikki know better than to make it out to be more than that. Or do they? 

Abe’s calm demeanor changes once he has a taste of Nikki. That night, no location is safe. He takes her on the beach and ravages her in his bed. But despite their mind-blowing sex, Abe's taste for ultimate control in the bedroom makes Nikki uneasy. Nikki's just getting over a heartbreak and she can't afford to let Abe in. So, she pushes aside her budding feelings, and leaves Florida and Abe behind without a backwards glance. Not used to being dumped and afraid to admit how much it hurts, Abe cuts his loses and heads back to Steel Inc., resume his role at the top of Steel Inc., pouring his heart and soul into his work. But Nikki Moore won't be forgotten so easily. Her taste, scent, voice, the noises she made when he brought her to ecstasy, the way she tasted on his tongue, and felt under his touch haunts him. Always fighting for control, Abe tries to push Nikki far into the back of his mind, as he fucks the rented women he had grown accustom to. But Karma is a bitch, and Abe blames her for Nikki leaving him the way she did. So when Nikki shows up unexpectedly, Abe welcomes Karma with open arms. Control has left the building and safety of one's heart is no longer strong enough to stop what happens next.  

Abe, is the first in the Ties of Steel series from bestselling erotica author MJ Fields. It is a spin-off of the bestselling Men of Steel series featuring the Steel brothers: Jase, Cyrus, Zandor and Xavier.





 Abe is ALPHA goodness at its best. He's cocky, sexy, in control and just what you want in a take charge kinda guy. Nikki doesn't know what hit her when she meets the handsome, mysterious guy who is sharing the rental with her and her girlfriends on Spring Break. He pushes her limits and scares her in more than one way. So she does the only thing she knows what to do...run.

Abe was an electrically charged, full of passion, exciting book. I read it all in one sitting because I just couldn't put it down. I did not read the Men of Steel series, so it's not a necessity - but after reading Abe, I most definitely will be going back for the full Steel family.

Dominic: The Prince (Ties of Steel, #2)
Released: January 18, 2015
goodreads youtube  

The Italian, seductive, quiet alpha, Dominic Segretti, is leaving Livorno, Italy and headed for the Jersey Shore.

His family's business is in danger of crumbling under the management of a man who tormented and grossly underestimated his investment in a business he grew up loving, and the hatred of a man who made his life hell for thirteen years.

He has been quietly waiting for the right moment to bring Benito Deluca to his knees. He comes to the US, armed with enough evidence to prove his case to, Josephine Steel, his aunt, and his cousins, Cyrus, Jase, Zandor, and Xavier.

The night before he plans to tell them of the corruption that could cause the demise of DeLuca INC, he decides to take a night to de-stress. He plans a night of relaxation and enjoyment for himself at the Hilton Casino on the shore.

Delaney Johnson is starting over after a break-up and graduating college. She has landed the job of her dreams in NYC. Arrangements had been made to stay with her best friend, Nikki Bassett, and her fiancé', Abe O'Donnell.

Feeling that her luck has suddenly changed, she stops to play a few slots, just for fun. She finds herself winning big, and gains an admirer.

One hot night of uninhibited sex with a stranger takes her places she never knew she could go.

Dominic sees something in her, something familiar, something undeniable. Will this one hot night turn into many, or will the Beast's plans crush any hope of them exploring their future?


Dominic is book 2 in the Ties of Steel Series. This book can be read as a stand alone but it is well worth it to read the other books in the series to understand some of the subplots.

Dominic is the Italian first cousin of the Steel Brothers. He flys to America to warm his cousins of a plot to take down the company he helps run in Italy along with the other companies that are related and interconnected with Steel Inc.

Before heading in to see his cousins, he takes a side trip to Atlantic City for the night and ends up meeting the first woman to truly capture his attention in a long time. After a steam night with the beautiful Laney - he is so taken aback by her, he doesn't want her to leave his side while he is in America.

Laney just so happens to the be Nikki's best friend and is moving to New York City for a new life. Laney has been jilted by love and the domineering Dominic was a nice little side track. The only thing is that Dominic doesn't want to let her go.

The chemistry between Laney and Dominic is scorching hot. I love that Abe and Nikki are a part of the story line and loved every page of this story.

MJ definitely knows how to write hot alpha men and women who know just the right buttons to push. You won't be disappointed and will be clamoring for more when you finish.

For twenty-six year old Dylan Hopkins, the answer is easy. He’s become no one. Memories of the happier times are all he has left as he finds himself meandering numbly through his now dull life. Though he cares about his work and family dearly, he’s yet to let himself find love again. Afraid of letting go of what he once had, Dylan chooses to keep his heart buried, where it belongs, having died a long time ago.

Having just opened his own gym, Conner can cross his first major life accomplishment off his very short list. Next up: find a man he can settle down with and build a family. Seems simple enough - a dream most people have, but when he meets Dylan, his carefree, easy-going life is thrown into a tailspin.

I am thrilled to have been asked to read an ARC of Solid Ground by Melissa Collins. Dax and Beckett (Beck) were an absolute exhilarating ride.

Dax is home from overseas. He suffers from a severe case of PTDS. He joined the military to find himself and ended up battled and bruised...losing a close friend in combat. Once home, he decides to take off to live with his best friend in order to get his head straight and figure out how he is going to continue on with a life that he is still a little confused about himself. Dax decides to get a tattoo. Little did he know that getting the memorial to his friend, would end up catapulting his life into full gear.

Beckett, a tattoo artist, who has had a tough life growing up, just found himself taking on the biggest responsibility of his life.

Melissa Collins has always been a book worm. Studying Literature in college ensured that her nose was always stuck in a book. She followed her passion for reading to the most logical career choice: English teacher. Her hope was to share her passion for reading and the escapism of books to her students. Having spent more than a decade in front of a classroom, she can easily say that it’s been a dream.
Her passion for writing didn’t start until more recently. When she was home on maternity leave in early 2012, she read her first romance novel and her head filled with the passion, angst and laughter of the characters who she read about it. It wasn’t long before characters of her own took shape in her mind. Their lives took over Melissa’s brain and The Love Series was born.

1001 Dark Nights - Easy with You by Kristen Proby

  
Easy with You
Nothing has ever come easy for Lila Bailey. She’s fought for every good thing in her life during every day of her thirty-one years. Aside from that one night with an impossible to deny stranger a year ago, Lila is the epitome of responsible.

Steadfast. Strong.

She’s pulled herself out of the train wreck of her childhood, proud to be a professor at Tulane University and laying down roots in a city she’s grown to love. But when some of her female students are viciously murdered, Lila’s shaken to the core and unsure of whom she can trust in New Orleans. When the police detective assigned to the murder case comes to investigate, she’s even more surprised to find herself staring into the eyes of the man that made her toes curl last year.

In an attempt to move on from the tragic loss of his wife, Asher Smith moved his daughter and himself to a new city, ready for a fresh start. A damn fine police lieutenant, but new to the New Orleans force, Asher has a lot to prove to his colleagues and himself.

With a murderer terrorizing the Tulane University campus, Asher finds himself toe-to-toe with the one woman that haunts his dreams. His hands, his lips, his body know her as intimately as he’s ever known anyone. As he learns her mind and heart as well, Asher wants nothing more than to keep her safe, in his bed, and in his and his daughter’s lives for the long haul.

But when Lila becomes the target, can Asher save her in time, or will he lose another woman he loves?

Amazon Kindle ** Amazon Print


“You didn’t ask for her number.” She scowls and pokes her finger into my chest. I look down at it, then glance up at her with a raised brow.
“You just assaulted an officer.”
“I did?” She swallows hard.
“Yes. I might have to arrest you.”
“With handcuffs?” She smiles gleefully, clearly excited at the thought.
“Would you like me to arrest you with handcuffs?”
“Hell to the yes!”
“Kate?” There’s suddenly a very tall, very irritated man standing behind the fiery redhead, staring daggers into me. I can’t help but laugh.
“I’m talking to the hot Asher,” she says, not turning to look at him. “I assaulted him, and he’s a cop, and he’s going to put me in handcuffs.”
“No, I don’t believe he will.”
I laugh again. “There’s nothing going on here, man.”
“Come see Lila!” Kate takes my hand, pulling me from my stool to the table behind us. Most of the women have cleared out, leaving just a few, including the sexy as fuck woman I met on the plane yesterday. “Where did everyone go?”
“Declan took them home,” Lila replies, and her hand stops midway between the table and her lips, holding her drink. Her violet eyes widen when she sees me. “Hi.”
“We meet again.” I sit next to her, my fingers itching to plunge in her dark hair and brush it over her shoulder. “How are you, Lila?”
“Fine.” She clears her throat and smiles at me. “I didn’t think I’d ever see you again.”
“A happy coincidence,” I reply softly. “You look beautiful.”
And she does. Her eyes are a bit glassy from the alcohol, her cheeks just a little flushed. Her hair is straight and falls down her back and over her slim shoulders. Before I can ask her questions about her trip here, or anything about her, we are soon pulled into the conversation with the others at the table. But when Kate asks Lila if she’s ready to go, I’m shocked when Lila responds with, “I’m gonna have Asher take me home.”



 What a fabulous treat for fans of Kristen's With Me in Seattle Series. We first met Asher in Tied with Me as Matt Montgomery's partner on the Seattle Police Force. A single father, Asher tugged on the hearts of Kristen's fans, wanting to see him get his own happy ending.

Asher takes a trip to New Orleans to see his brother and while there has a hot, steamy one night stand with a woman he met on his flight from Seattle to New Orleans. Now months later, Asher has moved to New Orleans and is working for the New Orleans Police. A series of murders as Tulane University finds Asher and his passionate partner from months ago, face to face.

Lila was surprised to see Asher walk into her classroom, months after leaving him after one of the hottest nights of her life. She felt the instant connection with him, but did he even remember who she was?

Lila and Asher are passionate, fun and hotter than all get out. The background of the story is engaging and keeps you turning the page to see what will happen next. Another incredible story from Kristen. The only thing wrong with this... it was way too short. :)

A Message from Kristen Proby:
Dear readers,

As you know, the With Me In Seattle series came to a close earlier this month with the eighth and final installment, FOREVER WITH ME. I've been steadfast in my decision that there would be no further stories from the series, no spin-offs, nothing more. In my mind, it was complete.

And I still feel that the Montgomery/Williams families are complete, and I maintain that I'm happy with their happy-ever-afters. 

But, I've also heard you when you've said that Asher, Matt Montgomery's partner in TIED WITH ME, deserves to have a happily ever after for himself and his daughter Casey. So, when the lovely ladies from 1001 Dark Nights asked me to participate in their wonderful project, I thought long and hard about whose story it should be about. Seattle is finished, and I've moved on to New Orleans for the new Boudreaux Series... And then it occurred to me: why not do both, and offer a companion novella to each of the series?

And so, because you, the reader, has been so insistent that you want to see Asher and Casey find their perfect person, I'm excited to introduce you to EASY WITH YOU. I think you're going to love Asher and Lila's love story this spring...

Happy Reading,
Kristen Proby

Manwhore by Katy Evans

Is it possible to expose Chicago’s hottest player—without getting played?

This is the story I've been waiting for all my life, and its name is Malcolm Kyle Preston Logan Saint. Don’t be fooled by that last name though. There’s nothing holy about the man except the hell his parties raise. The hottest entrepreneur Chicago has ever known, he’s a man’s man with too much money to spend and too many women vying for his attention.

Mysterious.
Privileged.
Legendary.


His entire life he’s been surrounded by the press as they dig for tidbits to see if his fairytale life is for real or all mirrors and social media lies. Since he hit the scene, his secrets have been his and his alone to keep. And that’s where I come in.

Assigned to investigate Saint and reveal his elusive personality, I’m determined to make him the story that will change my career.

But I never imagined he would change my life. Bit by bit, I start to wonder if I'm the one discovering him...or if he's uncovering me.

What happens when the man they call Saint, makes you want to sin?



Amazon | B&N | iBooks

Katy Evans absolutely blew me away with Manwhore! I was a BIG fan of Remy and so I knew going in that Malcolm Saint was going to be good...but I just didn't know how much he would play to my heart. The Alpha who is emotionally damaged is Katy's strong point - but she also makes you feel so many emotions for these hot, sexy men that you are left wanting more NOW!! 

Rachel Livingston has a dream and Malcolm Saint is going to help her achieve it...little does she know that Chicago's well know "Manwhore" is going to rock her world. Her expose on Mr. Saint and his manwhoring ways, are going to help catapult her in her journalism career and help her finally reach for the stars and make her mark. So when she lands the 10 minute interview with Saint, she really doesn't know what to expect.


Malcolm Saint is known for being a womanizing manwhore, who never sees a girl more than four times. So when Saint starts to show some interest in the reporter he just can't seem to stop thinking about...both Rachel and Saint's worlds get turned upside down.


I can't tell you more, because you need to experience Rachel and Saint for your self. With a cast of fun secondary characters, you will be swept into this whirlwind of an affair wanting and needing more in the end. 


I will say that this ends in a bit of a cliffy, but with Manwhore + 1 coming out in July, I pray it goes the way we all want.


5 AMAZING Stars for Katy Evans and Mr. Saint.



Katy Evans grew up with books and book-boyfriends until she found a real sexy boyfriend to love. They married and are now hard at work on their own happily ever after. Katy loves her family and friends, and she also loves reading, walking, baking, and being consumed by her characters until she reaches “The End.” Which is, hopefully, only the beginning…

The Critic by Joanne Schwehm


WORDS
Convey a message

Andrea Jordan dreams of acting on Broadway, and she is at the cusp of achieving success. All her sacrifices start to pay off when she lands a role that will catapult her to stardom.

CAN
Express our thoughts

Award-winning theater critic Bentley Chambers possesses the power to make or break a career. Theatergoers consider his reviews to be gospel, and actors cringe at the thought of him in the audience. His words possess power.

HURT
A heart’s not made of stone

More than one actor has been sent packing after Bentley’s bad reviews, and Andrea could be next. She won’t stand by and let him shatter her dreams, but she never thought giving him a piece of her mind would also mean giving him a piece of her heart.

Will Andrea discover on her own the passion Bentley claims she lacks, or will he be the one to draw it out of her?

Words… choose them wisely.
***STAND ALONE NOVEL*** INTENDED FOR MATURE READERS***

Amazon | B&N 

 
 I have to say that The Critic is one of my favorites from Joanne. I LOVE New York and Broadway and so this storyline has me hook, line and sinker from the beginning. 

Bentley Chambers is the hard nosed critic who seems to be especially hard on Andrea "Andi" Jordan. Bentley's critics can make or break an actor or show and it seems Andi just can't get it right. So when she seeks out Bentley to confront him, what she never expected was this gorgeous man, staring back at her.  Bentley offers to help teach her, to make her into the star that he knows she can be. Sparks fly between the two of them, making for a fun and steamy story.

Well written with characters you latch onto. So nice to read a story that isn't like the others out on the scene right now. Highly recommend this book and this author!
